Oh, I'm sorry Buttercup - I just need to get the imagery and stuff right first. That, and find the book where my inspiration came from.

Ok, here's the story:

There once was a soul who knew itself to be the light. This was a new soul, and so, anxious for experience. "I am the light" it said. "I am the light". Yet all the knowing of it, and all the saying of it could not substitute for the experience of it. And in the realm from which this soul emerged, there was nothing but the light. Every soul was grand, every soul was magnificent, and every soul shone with the brilliance of God's awesome light. And so the little soul in question was as a candle in the sun. In the midst of the grandest light - of which it was a part - it could not really see itself, nor experience itself as Who and What it Really Is.
Now it came to pass that this so yearned and yearned to know itself. And so great was its yearning that God one day said, "Do you know, Little One, what you must do to satisfy this yearning of yours?"
"Oh, what, God? What? I'll do anything!" the little soul said.
"You must separate yourself from the rest of us" God answered, "and then you must call upon yourself the darkenss"
"But what is the darkness, o Holy One? the little soul asked.
"That which you are not," God replied, and the soul understood
And so this the soul did, removing itself from the All, and going even into another realm. And in this realm, the soul had the power to call into its experience all sorts of darkness. And this it did.
Yet in the midst of all the darkness did it cry out "Father, Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Even as have all of us in our blackest times. Yet God has never forsaken us, but stands by us always, ready to remind you of Who You Really Are; ready, always ready, to call you home.

Therefore, be a light unto the darkness and curse it not. And forget not Who You Are in the moment of your encirclement by that which you are not. But do you praise the creation, even as you seek to change it. And know that what you can do in the time of your greatest trial can be your greatest triumph. For the experience you create is a statement of Who You Are and Who You Want To BE


So that's the story :D hope you enjoyed it!

My avatar is a symbol of that. We are all a light amongst the dark.

Great story, meth...g. :yes:

My current avatar is Arwen, elvish princess from Lord of the Rings. She is my second LOTR avatar to grace these forums. My very first avatar, upon joining RF many, many moons ago, was Aragorn. Parting with such a beautiful specimen of a man was difficult, but change is good now and then. :D
